This happened to me once
Then I realized I was trying to put an IP address where it asked for a password because I had clicked on start server instead of join.
Make sure you are not doing that.

Did you use your external or internal IP?
Visit http://whatismyipaddress.com/ if you don't know your external ip.
To find your internal IP, open Start > Run, enter CMD and then enter IPCONFIG.
It should say what it is after IPv4 Adress.

Try both - my Terraria will give the same error if I enter my external IP, but it'll work fine when I enter my internal IP.

if you have hamachi try disabling that network in the control panel, that worked for me
